Are your disks formatted with UseLargeFRS?

,

PureStorage has a pretty cool post that mentions the importance of formatting SQL Server disks with a 64KB clusters and the /L flag (also known as the UseLargeFRS switch on PowerShell's Format-Volume cmdlet).

Why UseLargeFRS? It's to help avoid DBCC CHECKDB failures on large/busy databases. But how do you work out whether it's enabled or not? PowerShell to the rescue!
